February 2015 Aquarius New Moon
Astrology Forecast
29 Leo 59 / 29 Aquarius 59
February’s Aquarius New Moon starts the approach to the awakenings that will take us into spring. The event is as quirky and distinctive as the sign it occupies. Like January’s, this Moon is in Aquarius, but with a vastly different textures. It is like a diving board that propels us into objectivity, then drops us into boundless emotion and interconnectedness.
This Aquarius New Moon is at the last minute of the last degree of the sign, so far along that it may as well be Pisces. In fact, the Sun and the Moon both slide into Pisces only minutes after meeting. Their movement spotlights friendships, dreams and wishes while also immersing us in retreat, self-reflection and an inescapable awareness that more change is on the way. The quick transition is propelling and confusing, dousing cool intellect with empathy and sensitivity, tossing detachment like a life preserver to keep us afloat on the vast sea of life.
The blending is a paradox. It’s a gift, too, that allows connecting and communing without losing the self. Hang on to the ability to distance and the self awareness that brings. Your sanity may, at times, depend on them. Neptune, the ruler of Pisces, is blowing his cosmic fog machine into the Aquarius New Moon. The clouds he’s sending off soften the air and blur our perceptions. Are we in another dimension? A movie? A fairy tale? A dream? Is someone lying to us? Are we lying to ourselves?
These questions are neither idle nor fleeting. They will be with us throughout the year, as Saturn, the lord of order, rules and structures, clashes with Neptune, the ruler of transcendence, illusion and delusion. The build up of this clash is part of the configuration of this Aquarius New Moon. The clash forces the question of what is real and what is an illusion — particularly in our beliefs and view of the world — and challenges us to build a bridge between what goes on in our heads and what occurs in outer, tangible reality.
